Bibiane Schoofs (Ned) bt Magali De Lattre (Por) 6-2 6-0

Jade Curtis def Amanda Elliot 6-4 4-6 6-3

As I said i watched the first 3 games in which both girls lost their serve.

Jade hits the ball flat and harder than Amanda but she is very tall and when her serve was working Jade was finding it difficult.

Not surprised Jade won but this girl Elliot can only get better.

BTW when their match was called to court Jade was watching another match listening to her ipod and did not hear the call. Alan Mills has to go and tell her to get a move on.

Jade is a 'proper little madam' on court. Does the girl ever smile ? For such a 'bonnie lassie' shes needs to smile a bit....she was grumpy from the start...!!

In comparison to Broadby she is an angel though. What a moan...continually whining to the umpire....and blaming him for the court being a bit damp ! Glad she lost just because she moaned so much. 6'2" tall but lacks power. Armstrong a much more class act.

Great win from Jade but surprised...for not a tall person she gets round the ball very quickly and hits it very hard.

Just been doing a little calculating. Amanda and Jade( after edinburgh points) should both be in the 800's, Of course Jade can still go higher. Top 800 if she wins and a new career high.

Jade is pretty grumpy on court, off court she seems like a nice girl. But on court she does moan. I think shes just striving for perfection. If she can turn the stropyness into positive energy her game would get better.

wow, undulating result.
